The SIGMA rat brain templates and atlases for multimodal MRI data analysis and visualization

Preclinical imaging studies offer a unique access to the rat brain, allowing investigations that go beyond what is possible in human studies. Unfortunately, these techniques still suffer from a lack of dedicated and standardized neuroimaging tools, namely brain templates and descriptive atlases. Here, we present two rat brain MRI templates and their associated gray matter, white matter and cerebrospinal fluid probability maps, generated from ex vivo {mathrm{T}}_2^ ast-weighted images (90 µm isotropic resolution) and in vivo T2-weighted images (150 µm isotropic resolution). In association with these templates, we also provide both anatomical and functional 3D brain atlases, respectively derived from the merging of the Waxholm and Tohoku atlases, and analysis of resting-state functional MRI data. Finally, we propose a complete set of preclinical MRI reference resources, compatible with common neuroimaging software, for the investigation of rat brain structures and functions.

Meek’s Atlas: Treatment of an oversized rolled chart

In 2015, an oversized 1862 photolithograph of Meek’s Historical and Descriptive Atlas of the British Colonies in Continental and Insular Australia surfaced as a conservation and digitisation priority within the Maps collection at the State Library Victoria, Melbourne. Originating as a large-scale pen and ink drawing by James McKain Meek in 1861, the Atlas provided a condensed history of each of the Australian colonies and was widely celebrated for its skilful miniature penmanship, winning a First Prize at the 1861 Victorian International Exhibition. Meek subsequently printed copies of the Atlas by photolithograph as a commercial enterprise, and a number remain in public collections across Australia. The original drawing is since thought lost. The photolithograph was prioritised for treatment in view of its social and historical significance, aesthetic appeal and unique content. This chart may be the only available representation of a second version of the Atlas, which includes additional printed elements. Oversized works on paper, particularly those in poor condition, can present challenges for conservators. This paper will discuss the treatment of Meek’s Atlas, presenting a modified procedure for the conservation of oversized rolled charts that highlights the use of Western and Japanese materials and techniques.

Metric and morphological assessment of facial features: A study on three European populations

Identification from video surveillance systems is becoming more and more frequent in the forensic practice. In this field, different techniques have been improved such as height estimation and gait analysis. However, the most natural approach for identifying a person in everyday life is based on facial characteristics. Scientifically, faces can be described using morphological and metric assessment of facial features. The morphological approach is largely affected by the subjective opinion of the observer, which can be mitigated by the application of descriptive atlases. In addition, this approach requires one to investigate which are the most common and rare facial characteristics in different populations. For the metric approach further studies are necessary in order to point out possible metric differences within and between different populations. The acquisition of statistically adequate population data may provide useful information for the reconstruction of biological profiles of unidentified individuals, particularly concerning ethnic affiliation, and possibly also for personal identification. This study presents the results of the morphological and metric assessment of the head and face of 900 male subjects between 20 and 31 years from Italy, Germany and Lithuania. The evaluation of the morphological traits was performed using the DMV atlas with 43 pre-defined facial characteristics. The frequencies of the types of facial features were calculated for each population in order to establish the rarest characteristics which may be used for the purpose of a biological profile and consequently for personal identification. Metric analysis performed in vivo included 24 absolute measurements and 24 indices of the head and face, including body height and body weight. The comparison of the frequencies of morphological facial features showed many similarities between the samples from Germany, Italy and Lithuania. However, several characteristics were rare or significantly more or less common in one population compared to the other two. On the other hand, all measurements and indices, except for labial width and intercanthal-mouth index showed significant differences between the three populations. As far as comparisons with other samples are concerned, the three European Caucasian samples differed from North American Caucasian, African and Asian groups as concerns the frequency of the morphological traits and the mean values of the metric analysis. The metric and morphological data collected from three European populations may be useful for forensic purposes in the construction of biological profiles and in screening for personal identification.

Atlas of pollen and spores of the Florida Everglades

An illustrated, descriptive atlas of pollen and spores from wetland plants of the Florida Everglades was compiled to facilitate identification of dispersed palynomorphs in sediments. The atlas includes 121 wetland species characteristic of eleven plant associations of the Florida Everglades including sloughs, sawgrass marshes, tree islands, wet prairies, cypress domes, mangrove forests, salt marshes, sawgrass ridges, beach/dune communities, pine flatwoods/dry prairies, and disturbed/developed sites. We include light micrographs and detailed descriptions of 121 species, 110 genera, and 63 families.

Notes on the Iron Age Kingdoms of Cyprus

This essay briefly examines trends in current research on the Iron Age kingdoms of Cyprus, with reference to recent discoveries at Amathus, Idalion, Kition, Kourion, and Marion, all subjects of articles in this issue of BASOR. In addition, it suggests ways of furthering the present understanding of the histories of these kingdoms. On the one hand, it is gratifying that more than 110 years after the publication of Cesnola's large, three-volume Descriptive Atlas of the island's antiquities, multivolume atlases are now needed for each of the kingdoms, and that Cypriot archaeology has, so to speak, entered a subatomic age. Whereas a previous generation of scholars had simply to study Cyprus as one atom within a larger Mediterranean molecule, it is now possible to examine more clearly the subatomic particles of the larger whole-the electrons, positrons, and quarks, one might say, of the island itself. Cyprus in the past was excavated primarily to understand its relationships with what were known as greater powers and civilizations: Greece, Phoenicia, Egypt, Assyria, and Persia. But we can now properly study the histories of the individual kingdoms, using the evidence of tombs, sanctuaries, and even settlements, although the last remain notoriously few. On the other hand, given this achievement, a question necessarily follows: how is the progress made in understanding the island to continue?

Book reviewUltrasound Imaging: Liver, Spleen, Pancreas. By CosgroveDavid O. and McCreadyV. Ralph, pp. ix + 368, 1982 (John Wiley/Chichester/New York/Brisbane/Toronto/Singapore), £39.50. ISBN 0–471–10068–4

This book is a descriptive atlas. It presents the ultrasound features of the normal liver, pancreas and spleen and also many of the pathological processes which affect these organs. Each of the many ultrasound images used as figures is paired with an explicit explanatory diagram, the latter being of high quality and on the whole easy to read. Each image also has a thumb-nail-sized orientation diagram beside it. The first part of the caption for each figure relates to the point being illustrated in that study.

Surgical Treatment of Head and Neck Tumors

This is a descriptive atlas that by design is not intended as a critical analysis of varied surgical techniques, but rather presents surgical procedures that are routinely used by the authors in head and neck surgery. On controversial academic matters, however, several points of view are often discussed. The book is liberally illustrated with excellent sequential drawings of sometimes complex surgical procedures. It also includes some photographs illustrating before-and-after comparisons of reconstructive procedures. The book is well written, and descriptions of basic anatomy, especially lymphatic drainage systems, are superb. It is, therefore, easily read, which is a tribute to the experience and teaching skills of the author. Notably lacking is a pertinent bibliography of important supplementary reading that would be of special value to the resident in training in head and neck surgery and of added value to the reader seeking more detailed information on a particular topic. While the

Descriptive Atlas of Surgical Anatomy

Manual of Surgical Anatomy. By Sir John Bruce, Robert Walmsley, and James A. Ross. 562 pp, 249 illus. $14.50. Williams & Wilkins Co., 428 E Preston St, Baltimore 2, 1964 Two well-written and nicely illustrated manuals of surgical anatomy have recently become available. Both should prove valuable, not only to the senior medical student about to observe for the first time various operative exposures and dissections, but also to interns, residents, and practicing surgeons who, prior to a not entirely familiar surgical exercise, wish to renew their acquaintance with the integrated regional anatomy of the part in question. These two volumes, apparently by pure chance, complement one another to an unusual degree. (One is essentially a fifth revision and the other, a first edition.) Where one is a more detailed and illustrated surgical atlas, the other tends to emphasize the clinical aspects of anatomy in general. In the Atlas of

In pre-Hitler Germany, medicine and printing were at a high level, often superior to that in America. Everywhere, training in dermatology was far more German-oriented than today, especially in the field of textbooks and descriptive atlases. In the United States, many of the worthwhile and essential books came from abroad, and it was necessary to translate from a foreign tongue to acquire a good working knowledge of this specialty. Fortunately for the American practitioner, the pendulum has swung toward our own language, and the arduous task of reading the German can be left to the translator and the reviewer. This multi-authored book is the fourth of five in the series. The authors have treated the subject of skin diseases under three headings: pediatrie, adult, and senile. Some of the major sections deal with congenital skin malformations, pigmented lesions, sarcoma, carcinoma, melanoma, and diseases of the eye, ear, throat, teeth, and mucous membranes as
